  • Gamasutra - Features - the History of Activision 10/13/11 3:13 PM
    Gamasutra - Features - The History Of Activision 10/13/11 3:13 PM The History Of Activision By Jeffrey Fleming The Memo When David Crane joined Atari in 1977, the company was maturing from a feisty Silicon Valley start-up to a mass-market entertainment company. “Nolan Bushnell had recently sold to Warner but he was still around offering creative guidance. Most of the drug culture was a thing of the past and the days of hot-tubbing in the office were over,” Crane recalled. The sale to Warner Communications had given Atari the much-needed financial stability required to push into the home market with its new VCS console. Despite an uncertain start, the VCS soon became a retail sensation, bringing in hundreds of millions in profits for Atari. “It was a great place to work because we were creating cutting-edge home video games, and helping to define a new industry,” Crane remembered. “But it wasn’t all roses as the California culture of creativity was being pushed out in favor of traditional corporate structure,” Crane noted. Bushnell clashed with Warner’s board of directors and in 1978 he was forced out of the company that he had founded. To replace Bushnell, Warner installed former Burlington executive Ray Kassar as the company’s new CEO, a man who had little in common with the creative programmers at Atari. “In spite of Warner’s management, Atari was still doing very well financially, and middle management made promises of profit sharing and other bonuses. Unfortunately, when it came time to distribute these windfalls, senior management denied ever making such promises,” Crane remembered.

  • Jay Simon 3/18/2002 STS 145 Case Study Zork: a Study of Early
    Jay Simon 3/18/2002 STS 145 Case Study Zork: A Study of Early Interactive Fiction I: Introduction If you are a fan of interactive fiction, or have any interest in text-based games from the early 1980’s, then you are no doubt familiar with a fascinating series known as Zork. For the other 97 percent of the population, the original Zork games are text-based adventures in which the player is given a setting, and types in a command in standard English. The command is processed, and sometimes changes the state of the game. This results in a new situation that is then communicated to the user, restarting the cycle. This type of adventure game is classified as belonging to a genre called “interactive fiction”. Zork is exceptional in that the early Zork games are by far the most popular early interactive fiction titles ever released. It is interesting to examine why these games sold so well, while most other interactive fiction games could not sell for free in the 1980’s. As we will see, this is a result of many different technological and stylistic aspects of Zork that separate it from the rest of the genre. Zork is a unique artifact in gaming history. II: MIT and Infocom – The Prehistory of Zork Zork was not a modern project developed under a strict timeline by a designated team of programmers, but credit is given to two MIT phenoms named Marc Blank and Dave Lebling. Its history can be traced all the way back to the invention of a medium-sized machine called the PDP-10, in the 1960’s.

  • The Magazine for Interactive Fiction Enthusiasts
    May/ June 1996 Issue #9 The Magazine for Interactive Fiction Enthusiasts This issue’s awfully late in coming out this time around, largely due to my already fully booked writing schedule. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even had a chance to play any text adventure games in months! Needless to say, I’m out of touch with the newsgroups too. I’ve had to hear third-hand about Mike Roberts releasing TADS as freeware and what’s up in the r.a.i-f competition. The good news is that the book I’m working on is wrapping up even as we speak, and I hope to be both a diligent zine editor and a reliable source for game hints again sometime in the near future. I’m finding that each issue’s Top 10 picks for Web sites devoted to text adventure games are increasingly reflecting the impact of new technologies. For example, this issue’s list includes a wonderful site with a number of Java-enabled Inform games you can play online—if your browser supports Java, that is. There’s also a site devoted to the long-awaited developments in playing interactive fiction games on Apple’s PDA, the Newton. This issue also includes a thoughtful article by John Wood on play- er character identity in interactive fiction. It’s a response of sorts to Doug Atkinson’s article on gender and IF games back in issue #3, which I think has generated more response than any other article to date in the zine.
